Especially the older lady with orange hair, who was seating the people who walked right in front of us. she had short orange hair and an unwelcoming demeanor. we were not impressed with her customer service at all. she only acknowledged the people she knew and ignored us for a good 45 minutes. we literally stood there for 45 minutes curious as to why she wouldnt even look at us. a simple "hello well be right with you" or something along the lines of that would have been suffice. even after finally being seated, i never recieved a text from the automated waiting list saying they were ready for my party. im discouraged about the last few times ive gone here. only because of the service and inaccurate wait times. this is not the first time this has happened unfortunately.

I hadn't been here in a couple years. It had always been pretty good so I gave it another try…read more Petro's did not disappoint. Since I was by myself, I sat at the "bar". Everything was clean and tidy even though it was on the tail end of breakfast service. There were several other people in the place too. Service was welcoming and personable. After a short wait, the waitress took my order and poured the coffee. The coffee was good and bold. A great diner style pick me up. Originally I was going to order some hash (excellent in the past) but opted for the biscuits and gravy special. Definitely a good move. As I waited for my food I was able to watch the kitchen do their thing. Good, lively crew. Any banter was professional and friendly. Also did a great job on the flat top. The portion size for the meal was great and the meal was delicious. The biscuits had some good flakiness and were not soggy at all. The creamy gravy had plenty of chunky sausage bites and had ample black pepper to tame the richness. The home fries were also a hit. They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The seasoning was also very good. The potatoes had a great paprika hint that lended just enough spice to cut through the richness of the gravy even more. For eggs, I chose over easy. They were cooked perfectly. Yokes were perfect and they had some crispiness on the edges that provided good textural contrast. The place was clean. I didn't have an opportunity to use the rest room but it had always been clean in the past. Overall, this was a great visit. For the delicious food and friendly staff I will definitely be back!

Nothing . Sat at the bar , service was great . My breakfast was good , the omelet was plenty big and tasty, hash browns were just ok, kinda plain. Need to cook them more well done . The toast was the star of the show . Nice and thick and tasted fresh . Had a few bloody Mary's and my GF had one Mimosa, both were good , but way overpriced for breakfast cocktails . 2 breakfasts and a couple drinks and it's $80 with the tip .

Hubby had scrambled eggs, rye toast and bacon. He enjoyed it. He wanted a second glass of juice but service was limited (slow) seemed to be only 1 server for the entire place.

When you get to your table, there's a local newspaper there detailing all the goings on at Ludlow which I thought was a nice touch. They have daily specials written on a whiteboard and I ended up going with the Blueberry loaf French toast. It tasted amazing. Ordered coffee which was that New England blend that everyone here seems to love which.. is understandable but I'm personally not a big fan of but, ok, I drank it anyway. I was most surprised by how much mom loved her veggie omelette breakfast. She's the one in our family whose very much a picky eater and she devoured hers. The waitress had brought over a hot sauce that she says the owner makes himself and I have to admit it was pretty good!. Another person in our party had the breakfast sandwich special that comes with home fries for 6.99 and in this economy, that's a deal, huge portions (see pic) During my time here I also heard that their rye bread comes from the local Portuguese bakery. I don't know that they could've done anything else to make our time there better. It really was a 5 star experience for us. Hope it will be that way for you as well.

The food was typical diner quality; based on the reviews I expected to be wowed, and I wasn't. (When we asked our waitress what she recommends she actually told us that the hash comes out of a can...) But my biggest beef with this place is that they don't serve real maple syrup. At all. How does a breakfast place--in New England--not even *offer* real maple syrup?!

The French toast is not on Texas toast and was nothing special. The breakfast scramble was not evenly cooked, some parts were overly cooked and some parts of the egg were runny. The taste was there, the execution was not. The server was great, came around a lot and made sure coffee was filled but the cashier was snappy when I asked for the location of the restroom. Just an okay experience, nothing I would highly recommend.
